Why not be part of the showBy sharing the stuff that you knowGot something to sayFor your colleagues each dayCall for papers –> let’s go

I believe many of you would agree that regardless of how
insignificant you believe your corner of the Oracle technology
may be, everyone has something to say. I attended my first show
in Anaheim CA USA in 1990 and started presenting at shows the
year after in Washington DC USA. It’s not hard to get over the
hump, moving from I would love to present a paper at a show
but I just don’t have the …

Colaborate
is a big show for C-level executives and up for the three big
Oracle User Groups. Last week at Percona Live was all MySQL, Open
Source, and a few hundred close folks. This week is the biggest
show, after Oracle Open World, on the Oracle user calendar and
draws a huge crowd from around the globe. All the Fortune 500 are
here or their contractors. In short, anything tangential to any Oracle
product can be found along with companies that offer add-ons,
support, consulting, and product. A lot of the attendees have
MySQL in their computer rooms and that is why I am in Las Vegas.

Vegas is a convention city. This week Collaborate, The National
Association of Broadcasters (100,000 strong), and a dozen other
conventions are in town. Add in tourism, gambling, and shows to
warm weather to produce …

Collaborate is a huge show that is the Independent Oracle User
Group’s big yearly show and for 2013 it will be in Denver. There
are several MySQL sessions of note and I have noted some below.
By the way i will have new MySQL stickers available at the MySQL
Demo Pod on the show floor but rules say I can not just leave
them around — you will have to ask for them.

Abstract: MySQL continues to be the world’s most popular
database management system for the Internet. This session
provides a fast-paced introduction to the MySQL architecture,
core features, best practices, and core performance areas. A
MySQL version of OFA will be shown as a best practice. MySQL
features will be taught from a perspective that is easy for
attendees …

Collaborate 12 is in Vegas and Collaborate 13 will be in Denver.
Mark your calendars now!

The last MySQL session for this year’s Collaborate is over. There
is another day of sessions to go but they will go on without
MySQL-centric topics. The majority of those the MySQL Community
Team have talked to are Oracle professionals looking to expand
their support for existing MySQL instances in their organizations
or those looking to move some aspect of their data over to MySQL.
Many use Collaborate for obtaining technical information as they
feel Oracle Open World is too frenzied to get niyty gritty
details. Attendance at MySQL sessions were much larger than last
year and demo pod booth action was heavy with those seeking
specific answers to their questions. And they were seeking
details on the NoSQL/SQL InnoDB/NDB interface, operational …

The MySQL sessions at Collaborate started strong after an amazing
keynote by former astronaut Mark Kelly about working to become a
naval aviator, astronaut, and helping his wife — Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords — after an assassination attempt on her life
last year.

A rare moment when the Oracle demo pods where not wall to wall
people.

First up was Set up MySQL in Five Minutes by Bob Burgess
of Radian6. Most of the attendees to these sessions seem to be
long time Oracle DBAs looking to add more MySQL skills or long
time Oracle AND MySQL DBAs. Bob then had a second session and
covered Shell Scripting for MySQL Administration where
most of the crowd of twenty had already had lots of shell
programming experience.

Plug-in to Vegas The program focuses on key topics such as
high availability, virtualization, security, business
intelligence, Exadata, Cloud Computing and internals.
Recently added, we switched around the schedule to include the
Thursday Deep Dive, Avoiding Downtime through the Maximum …

that you will need to know / have access to / learn about to
do your job that were …

Conference season is rapidly approaching and the MySQL Cluster
product team will be out on the road, sharing the latest and
